The Spanish Revolution of 1936 and the factory occupations in France during the Popular Front government still serve as important reference points for movements that seek to abolish capitalism and any form of domination. But do our perceptions and "lessons" drawn from the various individual and collective forms of worker resistance at that time hold true? Michael Seidman's richly detailed historical study shows that in both Spain and France, under different conditions, radical practices of work refusal persisted and even flourished. For the workers in Barcelona and Paris, revolution meant not more work, but less. The abolition of wage labor comes back into focus in this study as a vision of societal utopia. Inevitably, Seidman concentrates on the core of the Spanish Revolution, namely the processes within the workplaces.
